We are pleased to announce that PrimeKey Solutions AB has
successfully completed Common Criteria
EAL4+ Certification of
EJBCA version 5. The much awaited Common Criteria certificate, issued by
ANSSI
(Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information), is an
important milestone in EJBCAs 10+ years rich history of achievements.
With
this formal evidence that EJBCA confirms to the rigorous security
standards for Certificate Issuance and Management Systems, this Common
Criteria certification benefits Primekey’s customers and partners, as well as the community, and
strengthens EJBCA’s position as
the top pick of secure Certificate Authority software around the world.
EJBCA is certified based on the
CIMC Protection Profile (v1.0) at
security level 3. The assurance level is EAL4+ (EAL4 augmented with
ALC_FLR.2).
Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt
Due to regulations and
legislations, the Common Criteria EAL4+ Certification is often mandatory
to reach the highest level of security requirements in computer
software. The proof of achieved CC certification is a neccessity for
EJBCA users who need to run mission critical PKI, and who will have
their own software, solution or service, certified and audited for
standards compliance, such as
CWA and
WebTrust. PrimeKey welcomes, of
course, the certification as an additional proof that our EJBCA
development adheres to the strictest security practices and enables us
to reach out to customers that require formal certification.
“
Our
clients' projects often have to undergo own strict security
certification and audit processes. This official proof of EJBCA's Common
Criteria Certification will help them reach positive outcome, which
sometimes is crucial for us in order to sign a new contract”, says CEO
Konstantin Papaxanthis.
From now on, no organisation
has to refrain from using EJBCA because of any particular security
requirements. PrimeKey's customers can go straight ahead having their
EJBCA based projects security evaluated and formally certified as audit
compliant to the most demanding standards.
